Basketball Fans Ready for Final Four Tip-Off on Saturday

For the first time in history a No. 11 seed will face a No. 8
seed in the NCAA Final Four, providing a first-class opportunity in long-shot
odds for NCAA basketball
betting fans. At least one lucky bettor placed a $10 bet with a Las Vegas
Sportsbook outfit on the Virginia Commonwealth Rams back when the odds were
+5000, which means that if VCU wins the tournament, this guy turns $10 into
$50,000. That’s a Cinderella story if there ever was one.
Many of the 10 million expected viewers of each NCAA Final
Four game on Saturday night will have some money riding on the
excitement.
The Virginia Commonwealth Rams (28-11) tip off against last
season’s National Tournament underdogs the Butler Bulldogs (27-9) at 6:09 P.M.
ET on CBS. The Bulldogs are favorites to win on Saturday by two points. These
two teams have not faced each other on the court in recent history. Butler
pushed aside No. 1 Pittsburgh, No.4 Wisconsin and No. 2 Florida to get where
they are today. Virginia came from 11th place to upset top-ranked
Kansas Jayhawks, a game in which the Rams were +11 point underdogs. Both teams
are hungry for a victory and have a history of coming from behind to
win.

The winner of that contest will face either the UConn Huskies
(30-9) or the Kentucky Wildcats (29-4), who tip off at 8:49 P.M. ET on CBS. The
Kentucky Wildcats are the -2 ½ point favorites in this game, despite the fact
that the last time these two teams faced each other in November of last year at
the Maui Invitational, UConn trounced Kentucky 84-67 with a big 29 on the board
from Kemba
Walker, UConn’s top scorer. These players have been preparing all year for
Saturday night and it’s going to be a great night for NCAA basketball
betting.
